Protect your ears AND enjoy the show
Impressed at how well these work.In a concert setting, they distinctly and drastically lowered the volume to comfortable levels all the while keeping the sound of the music really clear. It felt like listening to it without earplugs at all as if the volume of the concert had just been lower. This itself is the reason behind the 5 stars here.Meanwhile a person who came with me and used standard foam earplugs said he hadn't been able to hear any high note or any of the performer's spoken words or the crowd singing, and that a lot of the music was jumbled. In comparison, with these Loop Experience Plus earplugs, I heard everything and very clearly.(when he'd first seen the Loops, he'd laughed at them - considering the results he's not laughing anymore and wishes he'd taken a pair).And importantly, my ears were not ringing continually or very painful once I got home. They felt tired, definitely, as though I'd been in a house party room with very loud talk for hours, but hardly more. Of course this will depend on the volume of what you attend and how far you are from the noise etc, this is just one use case and yours might turn out differently.I had the mutes on for the opener band, and removed the mutes for the headliner. The mutes further help with noise reduction / ear protection but lowers the sound quality just a bit. It's still very good even with the mutes. Priority has to be ear protection to keep enjoying sound as long as possible, so compromises must be made; don't hesitate to keep the mutes in as they don't ruin the show.Note that if you are going to very long concerts, you might need earplugs with stronger protection ratings to keep your ears safe the whole duration, such as the Loop Switch 2 in Experience or in Quiet mode (HeadAdvisor rates the Switch 2 in Experience mode as much better for hearing protection and a bit better sound-wise than the Loop Experience 2, getting you four hours of safe loudness exposure instead of two with the Loop Experience 2. Worth considering. There is a downside to the Switch 2 which is comfort.)In a 'blocking noise at home / work' context, they also work very well, for example, I was trying to block out the sound of someone playing a sports video with bad audio nearby while not making it too difficult to hear if someone spoke to me - the result was that the attack of the sports video on my focus was reduced to nothing.They're easy to put on and take off. I use them with the Loop Link cord which is nice to not drop them.The mutes are VERY small and drop-able, a bit difficult to handle, but I don't see how else they could have done this.I have tiny ear canals and don't find any earplugs comfortable foam or otherwise, especially if it's for several hours. Some are tolerable (the Hearos nanos and Mack's slim fit for example). These Loop are no exception, but they're more comfortable than some past Loop models I've tried years ago. They're also much more comfortable than the Loop Switch 2 which I tried but didn't end up keeping because too uncomfortable. With the Loop Experience Plus, I felt no compulsion to rip them out of my ears so that's as good as it gets comfort wise for me.Oh, also, they're quite prettyJust wish somehow they had a protection level that came out as good in independent studies as that of Loop Switch 2. But I'm still leaving a five stars because they enabled me to enjoy 'mostly safely' a show that I really wanted to enjoyVer másVer menos
